Technology Program
As part of Bergen Catholic High School's laptop program which began with the class of 2007, students buy a ThinkPad through the school as their own laptop for completing work that requires internet access and for taking notes. Uses of the computer include interactive whiteboards and Edline. The school custom-installs software on each student's computer, such as the screen monitoring program DyKnow and various test programs.
Edline is used to allow students to communicate with their teachers, and stay up to date with their homework assignments and standing in the class. Bergen Catholic has recently introduced Turnitin, which offers an extensive plagiarism prevention tool utilized by most of the faculty. DyKnow Monitoring is used to monitor students' screens and ensure that students are on task, as well as collect assignments via file transfer.
